Castor Set, 1813-1856
- Salt, 1815-1830 - Prior to the early 20th century, Americans would have put several small, open dishes filled with salt on their dining tables. These "salts" placed the necessary seasoning within easy reach of family and guests. In the early 1800s, pattern-molded or hand-blown "salts" became affordable to the general public from a growing number of regional American glass factories.

- Standing Salt, 1860-1900 - Nineteenth-century American glassmakers experimented with new methods to create products for a growing consumer market.

- Salt, 1870-1900 - Small, open dishes filled with salt graced Americans' dining tables into the 20th century -- before the introduction of free-flowing salt and the acceptance of shakers. Diners usually found a large master salt near the head of the table or smaller versions closer to their plate. Novelty-shaped, pressed glass salts, like this bird with seed, appeared in the late 1800s.
